2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS 3.0L Diesel · LT59 LGZ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 2 January 2026 at 142,853 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous test on 31 December 2024, indicating a consistent standard of maintenance and a lack of immediate mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is typical for a seventeen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,403 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test and the January 2026 test, the car covered 4,368 miles. This moderate usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components, nor has it been subjected to excessive wear from high-mileage commuting. The absence of advisories across the last two tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these often degrade without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Checking for underside corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, is essential given the age of the chassis. Attention should be paid to the condition of the brake discs and tyres during a physical inspection. Since the DVSA record shows no defects, these consumables are likely within legal limits, but they may be nearing the end of their service life. A professional check of the engine oil and transmission fluid levels will confirm if the previous owner followed a rigorous service schedule beyond the basic legal requirements of the MOT.
